What’s your name and location?
Wendy Davis in great Missouri
What type of cycling do you enjoy?
mountain, single-speed, gravel, cross, road
What is your first cycling memory?
June 16 2007 was my first mountain bike ride as an adult. I pedaled 1.5 miles and launched myself over a cliff. A visit to the ER confirmed a broken elbow. In that short time I found my destiny. I fell in love with mountain biking that day.
Who inspires you to ride, and better yet WHY?
I ride to inspire others to ride. I want people to see that if I can do it, so can they. The bike has made me happier and healthier. I keep riding because it makes me a better human.
What has been your best moment on the bike so far this year?
Racing at Sea Otter courtesy of Airborne Bicycles and crushing gravel at the Dirty Kanza 200
